i am not really into Indie rock (don't know much about it either) but today in my car, Radio 1 played the track "Something Good" and it drew me in --  very captivating tune-- i wanted to know more about this group. i will probably buy their album "An Awesome Wave" to explore more.

 

anyone know this group a bit more...?

Ken,

They have only done that one album.

It was up for a few awards.

 soundcloud and there own site are worth a look.

vinyl might be worth having.

Hi Ken,

 

 

An Awesome Wave can be heard here -  http://soundcloud.com/alt-j/ 

 

An excellent showcase on KCRW The Morning Becomes Eclectic is here -

I'm seeing the band next May in Cambridge. I picked up on them too late to catch this years UK tour,  which sold out.

Ken,

 

Age is just a number that the world evaluates your appearance. It's what happens between your ears that keeps you young. I've been attending gig's since 1969 and the performers & venues have never been better. The younger singers/bands have much better control of their music and accessability to their fans. That has become evident to me over the last 2 years. Internet social networking is a much better vehicle for new music than a record company exec's ideas (btw, which one's pink springs to mind).
